366W2826_p.jpg Moor House National Nature Reserve in the North Pennines has been a site of scientific research going back 50 years. Weather records show a gradual warming over the last 50 years and a dramatic decline in winter snow cover. This has started to alter some of the specialised arctic plant communities and has also affected the carbon budget of the upland blanket peat bog. Peat bogs should be carbon sinks but due to rising temperatures the carbon budget of the bogs is changeing to a carbon deficit. The picture shows the specialist equipment used to measure carbon release from the peat bog.

366W8385_science.jpg Scientists Anthony Long and Sarah Woodroffe of Durham University geography department looking at glacial marine sediments near Ilulissat on Greenland. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it. If they can understand how the relative sea levels were affected by the changeing climate of the past they should be able to greater understand how the melting of the Greenland ice sheet will affect global sea levels. This understanding is crucial as the Greenland ice sheet contains enough warter to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

These fossil seeds found in salt marsh can be carbon dated to measure sea level rise from isostatic rebound. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it.
